This week your hosts fawn over their favorite (spoiler!) of the Star Trek pilot episodes, Deep Space Nine's 'Emissary.' Joined again by guest TNG expert Daniel H. Johnson (who is a dab hand at DS9 as well), Patrick, Dan, and Jesse praise the tight writing, efficient world-building, and distinctive atmosphere present right from the start of what is arguably the best Star Trek series to date. Oh, we also discuss the sinister implications of a Federation justice system that does not include plea bargains, Miles O'Brien's favorite transporter room, and the uncomfortable awkwardness of our new daddy fighting with our old daddy...

Join us for another earth-shattering, mind-blowing, soul-evaporating episode of It's Got Star Trek! Allamaraine!
